Under the sudden impact of the cavalry of the Changying Army, a full 20,000 Wei Bo and Cheng German troops had no power to resist and were retreating at a speed visible to the naked eye!

After a surprise attack, after defeating Wei Bo and Chengde's army head-on, the cavalry of the Changying Army did not stop, but continued to rush forward.

First the heavy infantry opened the way, then the formed cavalry assaulted without any pause, and then looked at the direction of the opponent's breakthrough, Tan Zhong had already vaguely guessed Guo Rong's train of thought!

Tan Zhong thought that if he guessed correctly, then Guo Rong's goal from the beginning was not to deal with the rebellious people or defeat Wei Bo and Cheng De's army!

Guo Rong's kid has only one target for counterattacking, and that is him, Tan Zhong, himself!

In other words, under the dilemma of the trilemma, Guo Rong and his Changying army chose to break the cauldron and sink the boat, desperately to capture the thief and capture the king!

In less than two quarters of an hour, the Changying Army not only opened up the road from the chaotic people, broke through the blockade built by the cavalry of the Lu Long Army, and defeated the battle formation of Wei Bo and Chengde Army.

However, the chaotic people, Lu Dragoons, Wei Bo, and Chengde foot soldiers have all broken through, and they have become the target of the thief and the king, Tan Zhong's face showed not a frustrated, uneasy or other negative expression, but a satisfied smile.

Guo Rong dared to break through with his strength and break through head-on, which was indeed beyond Tan Zhong's expectations.

Guo Rong dared to break the kettle and make a desperate bet, which made Tan Zhong even more admired.

Rao is Tan Zhong has extensive knowledge and rich combat experience, and he did not expect Guo Rong to dare to make such a choice and decision in the current environment.

It is not for nothing to break the road with strength, but it is generally used to break through in the middle and open the stalemate with a strong army when it has an advantage, rather than fighting for its life when it is at an obvious disadvantage, like Guo Rong.

If there are traces to follow in breaking the road with force, then the broken cauldron really belongs to the legendary existence!

Tan Zhong has heard of this kind of thing, but it is only heard.

As far as Tan Zhong's personal experience in the army for more than 50 years is concerned, in most cases, after falling into a desperate situation, chaos, rout, and defeat are the norm, and if you can ensure that the army's morale is not chaotic and maintain a certain line of defense, you can already be called a good general.

With Tan Zhong's experience, experience, experience, and command, what he couldn't have imagined, how could those fools from Wei Bo and Chengde imagine it!

Tan Zhong gave Wei Bo and Cheng Dejun the opportunity to attack after the front cavalry, which can be regarded as a trap, but it can also be seen as an opportunity from another angle, and it is precisely because of this that Wei Bo and Cheng Dejun are willing to accept this military order with hidden dangers, after all, the vanguard represents military merit and is a reward.

You must know that since the founding of the Tang Dynasty, the Tang army has been based on military merits, otherwise Taizong would not have been able to fight back in Xuanwumen, although more than a hundred years have passed, although the current imperial court has weakened, but whether it is the feudal army or the forbidden army, as long as it is still under the system of the Tang army, military merit will always be the most valuable!

With the victory in hand, why should I give up the opportunity to pick up cheap to these fools, isn't it actually to prevent Guo Rong, this kid, from doing anything?

Although Tan Zhong didn't know what kind of demon Guo Rong would do, he knew one thing, a dog could jump off the wall when he was in a hurry, and a rabbit would bite when he was in a hurry, how could the powerful imperial forbidden army sit back so honestly and wait to be killed.

From the current point of view, Tan Zhong knew that his decision was correct, and while he lost the opportunity, he also lost the risk, Guo Rong and Guo Rong's Changying Army really played new tricks.

In all fairness, in the absence of defense, although the Lu Long army of its own country will be stronger than Wei Bo and Cheng De's army in the event of such a surprise attack, it will be limited in strength, at least it will be impossible to organize an effective defense in a short time.

Therefore, the entire 20,000 Wei Bo and Cheng Dejun actually became substitutes for the soldiers and horses under their command.

"Guo Rong, this kid really has something!"

At first glance, this is a compliment to Guo Rong, but through the condescending or the praise of the elders looking at the younger generations, it can be seen that Tan Zhong thinks that everything is not beyond his control.

Guo Rong's tactics were very successful, and the infantry and cavalry of the Changying army were very strong, but what could this be, even if this cavalry could really completely penetrate the battle formations of Wei Bo's army and the Cheng German army?

Because after the 20,000 Chengde and Wei Bojun, there are also 20,000 Lu Longjun's foot soldiers under his command, and behind these 20,000 people, there are 10,000 elites of the Lu Long Army who act as the supervising team.

People will always be tired, and the war horses will also be tired, how much physical strength and impact power can they have after killing the army formation of 20,000 people?

Therefore, in Tan Zhong's eyes, everything that Guo Rong and Changyingjun did was in vain, and it was not enough to affect the final result.

On the contrary, with the help of Guo Rong's hand, he can kill the guy who followed him all the way!

Of course, there is a premise for this, that is, there are no other variables!

Compared with experience and experience, Guo Rong is far from being Tan Zhong's opponent, and compared to being ruthless and not in charge of soldiers, Tan Zhong, an iron-hearted guy like Tan Zhong, can throw Guo Rong out of ten streets.

But if you talk about variables, then the sum of ten Tan Zhong is not as good as Guo Rong, who has experienced the baptism of two completely different eras.

And Guo Rong naturally won't disappoint Tan Zhong!

Under the leadership of Dong Jia, who had been soaked in blood, in less than a quarter of an hour, the cavalry of the Changying Army that rushed out along the road opened up by the heavy infantry had completely chiseled through Wei Bo and Chengde's army!

As Tan Zhong expected, after breaking through the 20,000 rout composed of Wei Bo and Chengde troops, the brave cavalry of the Changying Army did not pause, but continued to stride forward.

As the cavalry of the Changying Army in front of them rushed forward, more Changying troops riding war horses were following the passage opened up by the infantry and cavalry, and they were constantly following forward.

It's just that although the Changying army that followed up all rode war horses, not all of them were real cavalry, and most of them were actually just foot soldiers on war horses.

To be precise, these horseback foot soldiers were divided into two categories, one was the archers with big shoulders and round waists, and the other was the sturdy swordsmen and rifles.

Among these follow-up foot soldiers, except for the Mo sword soldiers who carried Mo knives and the foot lance men who carried foot lances, the rest of the cavalry and archers who followed up were not commonly used blades.

The archers with big shoulders and round waists did not carry bows or arrows at the moment, and many of them did not even carry their horizontal swords, but their bodies and the sides of their horses were covered with jars of different sizes and colors, wrapped in coarse cloth or cotton and linen, and there was a long lead on the outside of the jars.

Of course, there are real cavalry in the Changying army that follows, but this part of the cavalry is mainly light cavalry with light armor.

Like the horse-mounted foot soldiers, these more skilled light cavalry did not have the usual bows, spears, or swords.

The blades were there, but they were hung on either side of the saddle, and they carried not weapons, but a flaming torch.

In fact, if one looks closely, one will find that in the center of the assault cavalry battle array, there are also some armed with torches, and the sides of the horses are also hung with similar jars of long tassels.

At the same time as the follow-up reinforcements followed up, after killing the rout of Wei Bo and Cheng De's army, they marched forward for less than a mile, and a full 20,000 elite Lu Longjun infantry had appeared in front of Dong Jia, the cavalry general who led the attack.

Unlike Chengde and Wei Bojun, who are in the same bed and have different dreams, these Lu Longjun foot soldiers are their own descendants for the veteran Tanzhong.

Tan Zhong is willing to treat Wei Bo and Cheng Dejun as cannon fodder, but he will not deliberately pit his own soldiers, so before the war, Tan Zhong asked them to be vigilant more than once, and at the same time, he also gave them a task to monitor Wei Bo and Cheng De's army in front, and if they made any abnormal moves, they would directly surrender to the enemy.

Therefore, when the war began, although Yin Shi did not directly enter the battle, the 20,000 elite Lu Longjun foot soldiers maintained a high degree of vigilance, and they also made necessary precautions for possible emergencies.

Wei Bo and Cheng De's armies were directly defeated, which was beyond their expectations, but it also provided them with a buffer and early warning.

When the cavalry of the Changying Army defeated Wei Bo and Cheng De's army and appeared in front of them, their reaction was completely different from that of Wei Bo and Cheng De's army in front of them, which were directly defeated.

With a complete command system, sufficient mental preparation, and early warning of the rout in front, they successfully preempted the arrival of the cavalry of the Changying Army, and formed a relatively complete battle formation that was enough to resist the cavalry raid.

On the other hand, due to the fighting will and resistance of Wei Bo and Cheng De's army, the low exceeded expectations, and after piercing through this part of the rout, Dong Jia and the cavalry under his command still retained a considerable part of their mobility, combat effectiveness and impact power.

So, in the face of the battle formation formed by columns of tall soldiers, rows of sharp spears, and strong shields, Dong Jia, who felt that he was in good condition, still had the urge to stride forward and charge.

Fortunately, at the critical moment, one of the mounted cavalrymen who had been guarding him behind his flank reminded loudly.

"Boss, big killer!"

Hearing these three words, Dong Jia, whose brain was slightly hot, suddenly calmed down, and soon he raised the horse lance, which had been soaked in blood countless times, and gave the order to stop.

With Dong Jia's order, the cavalry of the Changying Army, which was charging at high speed, immediately began to slow down, and successfully stopped about twenty paces in front of the battle formation formed by Lu Longjun's foot soldiers.

It's just that it's not a safe distance.

According to the regular operation of the Tang Army, after forming a defensive battle formation at the front, the archers and crossbowmen in the rear will begin to scatter or projectile over a large area, forming a large-scale killing or blocking of the cavalry.

Fortunately, due to the previous state of marching, although they had time to form a formation, the archers and crossbowmen in the rear of the Lu Long Army did not have time to shoot at the cavalry of the Changying Army in front of them at the first time.

While Lu Longjun was adjusting its formation and preparing to facilitate archers and crossbowmen to shoot in a large area, Dong Jia and Changying's army were also making corresponding adjustments.

Although the cavalry of the Changying Army stopped, the vast majority of them did not dismount, of course, this is not absolute.

These guys, who had been protected in the center, with big shoulders and round waists, and torches in their hands, who didn't look like normal cavalrymen, flipped off their horses with lightning speed.

In fact, these guys are indeed not cavalrymen, and experienced veterans can see from their size that these guys with big waists and round arms thicker than ordinary people's waists are actually archers.

These barely strong and embarrassed guys on the war horses turned over and dismounted and immediately came to life.

After standing firmly on the ground, they removed the jars of various sizes and colors from their horses as quickly as they could.

After removing the bag that was set on it, he used the torch in his hand to ignite the lead that extended from the jar, and then used his strength to eat milk, and before the archers and crossbowmen of the opposing side could shoot arrows, he threw it forward, and threw it towards the battle formation formed by Lu Longjun.

At this moment, the entire battlefield seemed to have a brief stagnation, and the attention of the Lu Long Army, the Changying Army, the foot soldiers, the cavalry, and all of them were attracted by these small jars flying in the sky.

After removing the cotton cloth or linen wrapping, these large and small ones were dark or brownish-black-brown, and flew out of the cavalry formation of the Changying Army, which had stopped, with small burning tails one by one.

】

And these small canisters flying in the air with burning tails are the new weapons that the newly formed firearms battalion of the Changying Army has improved according to Guo Rong's suggestions, and it is also Guo Rong's confidence to dare to fight back.

The Changying Army had high hopes for these things that didn't look good, but on the other side of Lu Longjun, no one knew what these black things were, and no one knew what the other party wanted to do with them.

But it's not really important.

In line with the principle that even if a stone is thrown from the opposite side, it must be defended, the Lu Long Military Academy, which is at the forefront, issued an order that almost determined the situation on the battlefield:

Defense!

With the order issued, the archers and crossbowmen at the rear of the Lu Long Army's battle formation put down their bows and crossbows, while the shield soldiers in front raised their shields high, forming a wall that looked impermeable.

Just as Lu Longjun was organizing defense with his shield, an orange fireball suddenly appeared in the air, and at the same time as the fireball appeared, there was also a roar of explosion.

"Boom!"

A small jar flying in the air exploded in advance before it flew in front of the battle formation of the Lu Long Army.
